This service will communicate with the data layer for user registration and login. Since it is required to validate the access token for almost all of the requests from users, using the database for saving and validating the token is not very efficient. Therefore, a persistent key-value store in this service is storing the access token.
This service is using the
linkstorm_datalayer
service. Therefore, you need to run the linkstorm_datalayer
service before
running this service.
First install virtualenv
with pip.
pip install virtualenv
Then create an empty virtual environment.
virtualenv .venv
Note that .venv
is the name of the virtual environment directory, this
directory is omitted in the .gitignore
file.
After creating the virtual environment, activate it.
UNIX based Operating Systems (GNU/Linux, macOS, etc.)
source .venv/bin/activate
Windows
.\venv\Scripts\activate
Now you can install the required python packages in the clean environment you just created.
pip install -r requirements.txt
After installing the dependencies, you can go to the app
directory and then
run the service by executing the following command.
python main.py
If you want to change the port number, you can do so by changing the PORT
constant in the settings.py
file.
